Tattoo-age-ness

Jamie wants to get a sleeve. Honestly? I think it would be sexy and I would personally really, really love it. BUT I hesitate...isn't that dumb? I always do these things where I think...what will others think? WHY DO I DO THAT! People won't think anything of me, they will think something of him...and I could care less what they think of my patient, caring, no smoking, non drinking, pure hearted husband because he is all of the above! So why is it that I instantly go to "NO" when he says "I want to get a sleeve." Now there IS something to be said for offending others. I personally always cover up my tatts (to the best of my ability) when I am in church because I am on the worship team and there are so many lil old people who just don't get it and I not only feel the need to keep them un-offended but I also don't need the comments : ) That being said...Jamie and I have talked about "Would you regret having something that big that you may have to cover every once in a while?" and of course he says he wouldn't...but my hot blooded husband isn't exactly all about the long sleeved shirts. I HAVE to stop worrying about what others think because I have kids and one day they will make their own decisions that I have absolutely nothing to do with and I am going to make myself crazy if I worry about what everyone around me does?! Maybe I should just get a sleeve with him and get over it ; ) HAHA so what do you think? Are my worries irrational? I really would love to hear some real conversation and views on this! So bring it on!

If his current job doesn't care, go for it. Nothing says you can't cover up a sleeve, esp. in a professional setting. And if he's willing to undergo it, I would say give it a go. :)

I would personally hate to feel like I have to cover up a part of my body to make people feel comfortable, or for work. When we're around Bryan's family, I try to dress more modest (no shoulders, no low-cut shirts, etc) because they're LDS. More and more I've slowly been wearing less-modest but still appropriate stuff, because I hate feeling confined by clothes. If Jamie REALLY doesn't care, well, that's cool. But it would drive me crazy. And you never know what future jobs may say about it. I had an art teacher who had to wear long sleeves to cover his sleeve tattoo in school and he always looked so warm and uncomfortable.

But they are very cool looking.

Oh he could seriously care less about what anybody thinks...its just me that cares....and I can't decide if I am irrational or if it is legit
